Very soon, car owners will drive themselves.
Drivers are a horrible bunch.

But is it there a mechanism to report these erring drivers to Taxify/Uber? Where real sanctions that affcet the driver's rating or even continued stay on the platform is effected for erring drivers.

Uber/Taxify needs to know that the model they are running depends on the drivers doing right by the car owners

How long is the HP period, hope you have a Plan B for the week you don't make 30k.Think it through well you don't want to lose out after 6 months/ 1 year.
.Also as a newbie trying out a rental for about 1-3months first would have been an advisable option so you have a feel of the market although as December approaches there will be a rush so don't assume February -November is the same way...All the Best

So is the new money now #30,000, not #35K again?

Why is it difficult to run this uber business thingy in Naija??

In fact, i think the real question is: why are Nigerian drivers(the ones i have dealt with) such ungrateful and untrustworthy chaps.

We cant we just invest and recorp in peace?

Does anybody still think this Uber thing is worth it??

Please i dont need "likes" on this comment, i need response. Cos am about to take a decision.

ORIENTATION101:
you lied obj took over may 29 by then crude oil was $22 climbed to $24 by last quarter of 1999.
Here is crude oil chart check .
Nigeria runs a spend thrift economy that depends on forex for economic activities , crude oil fetches nigeria more than 70% of forex we need to push the economy non oil at 22% taxation at 8% as at 2015.
When crude oil fall to 25$ with niger delta millitancy not making crude oil exporting up to 1 million .how do u run such economy with ailing foreign reserve.Gej was already borrowing to pay salaries at the tail end of his administration
During Global recession 2009 nigeria was able to pull through without hitches because yar adua left a robust foreign reserve at all time high 63 billion dollars unlike Gej that left 38 despite oil boom.

Bros see the link from the economics: https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/amp.economist.com/special/1999/03/04/the-next-shock

Please check the moniker you quoted. Dont ever accuse it of claiming wrong facts or figures except you are absolutely sure.

Moreover, from the pixture you posted, the price was on AVERAGE around #12 in 1998 and #16 in 1999. When adjusted for 2017 inflation, they are about #18 and #24 respectively.

Was the condition at the time Buhari resumed worst than that(even at inflation adjusted values)?? Was that not my initial claim?

Buhari was not prepared. Granted, low oil prices was a difficult situation, but that was not the reason why he failed so spectacularly where Obasanjo did not fail that much.

Any body who votes for any of the candidates or parties without a debate is sick in the head

PrinceBBlack:
Can u prove it? Stop listening to Imaginary characters being created. Its just like all those folktales of stuffs that are not true. Ask yourselves these questions
1. How is it possible that the whole administration under Buhari would not know that he is a copy?
2. Buhari died and the international communities did not know of his death with the level of intelligence gathering they have?
3. Has Nnamdi Kanu been a credible source of secret information in the past? How credible is he to even the Igbo community?
4. If he were Jibril, y have they not brought concrete proof yet. At least they are so sure is not the real Buhari.

The talk about Buhari and Jubril is silly talk.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. At this moment, there is none. Nada!!!

But this does not subtract from the fact that Buhari is a failure sha

MrMurphy:
unfortunately, Atiku can't match Buhari in any debate, he'll floor him hands down but debate don't produce the best and why is it so, because we're yet to mature politically

What are you talking about??

Does this make any sense to you, Bros?

buhariguy:
the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs can never be cure from idiotism.
Buhari has failed woefully and they want thief atiku to also fail till 2025

Are you sure you are OK??

ORIENTATION101:
you mean price of crude $25 in 2016 with populations of over 180 millions with high cost of governance has same value with $22 in 1999 with less than 80 millions populations with low cost of governance.

Actually, it went as low as $10 during that time.

But like i said, this is not the reason why this Govf is failing

ORIENTATION101:
so you expect Apc to turn Nigeria to eldorado in 3 yrs when crude oil was at lowest in 25 yrs but it is cool for nigerians to trust pdp for another 6 yrs imaginary policies after wasting 78.8 trillions naira crude oil proceed from 1999 to 2015.

your Hypocrisy is legendary.

It is about what i expected or did not expect, it was just that APC was not just prepared for Governanace. If you wanna debate that, am ready guy.

By the way, this was not the first time oil prices wwre low. It was evwn lower in 1999 when Obasanjo took over. Let nobody succesfully deceive you with that reason/excuse

ORIENTATION101:
the main thing he should explain how he is going to achieve them. governance is not a textbook thing. Apc was not expecting to meet looted treasury and low crude oil price until they took over

I think APC was just not ready for governance. They only focused on power- on removing Jonathan from power.

They were not prepared . And we didnt "ask" them if they were. We must not make that mistake again.

destinychildolu:
I am sure that Atiku himself doesn't know the content of the blue print

I think he does. You cannot compare him with Buhari in that aspect.

Although, we still need him to discuss specifics with us. We need both of them to do so actually.

We must engage these people whose decisions(or otherwise) will affect our lives in the next 4 years

TonyeBarcanista:
go to www.atiku.org to get #TheAtikuPlan


Forget about Bubu

Thanks..... i have taken almost 2 hours to read thrpugh the document. My first imprression: GREAT.

There are some things we have been asking for that is there. The people that penned it obviously have an idea of what they wanna do. I encourage everyone to read it with an open mind.

Although while i saw some specifics, i want more. I would encourage Atiku ans his Team to engage and answer more questions on this plan. We must also hold them to account on the specifics.

I am still holding out until this is done.

By the way, i want to read Buhari "Next Level" too. I need to even if i dont like the man. And i everyone should read both. For what is worth, one of these two men will bw in charge of our lives for 4 years. We need to know more about them NOW so we can better engage them.

Also, share link to Buhari "Next Level " too.

Want to read both

@ TonyeBarcanista, dk share link to Atiku policg document if you have it.

Want to read both

buhariguy:
Good

Really?? Later you will be shouting "anti-corruption" all over Nairaland.

Have you noticed nobody takes you APC suppprters serious anymore over corruption? I wonder what you guys will campaign with this time around.

#hypocrites

buhariguy:
as how?
Buhari has almost finish what thief atiku plans to do in 2025

Please be serious for once.

This is about your life and those of your loved ones.

It is not a play thing .

The only reason why PDP is talking today after Nigerians rejected them in 2015 is cos APC and Buhari has failed. And woefully too. That is the only reason

HOW??

This is the real question!!! Fine, you have the plan but how will you do these things you are promising you will do? Specifics please!!!

I have not read the whole document. I want to read it once i can get it.

I hope though that after we know "how" as well as the Specifics, Atiku will make himself available to answer questions on these specifics.

Only when we put them on the spot on these specifics, can we be at least comfortable that it will be difficult for these people to diss us and their "promises" once they get into power.

I like Obi, but Atiku has still not convinced me yet. I will wait until he does. Nobody can bobo me anymore. What am sure of however is: it is a big NO to Buhari. He has failed spectacularly.

Who gave this failure an award??

Binikingdowm:
Great news

You think I just want APC to loose? They need to die for the pain they have caused us.

Let me see anybody in my polling unit voting buhari in 2019, let's know who run the domain

Dont you think you are taking this politics thing too far??

Someone and his wife just died. Some persons are hurting right now

PHILipu1:
What is close?
How many votes did APC used to win Osun somebfew weeks ago?

Every singles vote count.

Win or rig?

Please don't go there at all

OfficialAPCNGR:
We are actually winning... Sai APC even if we have to write results...

No wonder nobody takes you guys("progressives" serious anymore. Hope you noticed ??

geokentech:
Iheanocho should be replace, no contribution in the team.

How does that concern you now??

senatordave1:
Inec will cancel.apc has overpowered saraki where it matters most on the election ground.if pdp are to win,it will be marginally.this is how tough elections will be in rivers,Delta and other pdp bases next year.you can see why atiku can't win.tuniski come and see

And you are happy over this??

kolaaderin:
What do u want the president to do, prosecute a sitting governor? Hypocrite everywhere.

He can condemn it and ask the thieving Govt to resign. His party should also do so.
That way he would have cleared himself for been complicit in this mess.

You guys don't understand yet that dragging this particular issue for long serves the purpose of PDP in this election: they would simply point to Ganduje and Kano once APC tries to rob them with corruption toga- their biggest weakness.

Previous performance would not be an issue since APC has also performed terribly in the last 4 years or so.

mimimile93:
Obi is a tribal bigot. That's all I gat to say.

Any proof though?? I mean, any?

Or that is just what you wanna say or was told to say.

It is Ok not to like someone and not vote for him. But not Ok to disparage him cos you do not like or wanna vote for him

ALAYORMII:
Trying to make out Obi as a saint


All Nigerian politicians are thieves and crooks

This was written way before Obi was even considered as a Vice Presidential candidate.

Nobody is making Obj as a saint here. The man has always had that reputation of a thrifty and incorruptible man both in Govt and outside. And there has never been an credible counter to that impression as far as I know.

This book, though written some time ago, only reinforces that.

youngmonie:
Damn so much dumbness on nairaland these days. Government never claimed that Nigeria is self sufficient when it comes to rice production hence there will still be imports as local production cannot meet demand yet. Even reading the article, there has been an increase in demand for rice..

Government is not in the business of rice prodction, they only put.in place policies and initiatives to support local production of rice. And if local production cannot meet up with local demand yet, it is only common sense that imports will cover excess demand. Nigerians are too emotional over this 2019 election and it is affecting our ability to think through whatever we read . Economic illetrates all over this thread

Bros, plzz respect your self na.

You cannot reduce import by 90%(according to govt) in 2018 and by 2019 you are projected to be the 2nd largest importer in the world. And then you attribute that to "increase in demand ".

And that is for a country that was around the 3rd or 4th largest importer by 2016.

You people should Fear God na

He should just shut up o....

In fact, it is a testament of the silliness of Nigerian politics that a failure as this man would win in Benue again.

If I was j Benue, I would not vote for APC that seems to be OK with butchering of my people bug I would not also vote for PDP that seems OK with re-presenting a failure.

The Benue people are in deed fuc.ked
